Of Chargers and Sideways

am i really the only one who called on San Diego Chargers going to the NFL PlayOff? Well yesterday they sealed the deal with a win over Cleveland Browns and captured the AFC West Division title as well. didn't i also say after they had their 4-0 streak that they can very well sweep their remaining schedule? but this coming game against the Indianapolis Colts will be the toughest one of the season. oh, how sweet would that be to end up with a 13-3 record after finishing 4-12 last year. i think this is a very potent team and will go deep into the playoffs, even to the AFC Championship game.

i saw Sideways last saturday and i highly recommend it. it's very funny and moving. it reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Swingers. Thomas Haden Church channels Vince Vaughn's character from Swingers while Paul Giamatti was the lovable, loser-type that Jon Favreau embodied in that movie. the backdrop of Southern California's wine country also plays beautifully in the movie. it's smartly written, witty, and full of excellent performances from the four main actors. Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh costar. Go see it.
